Sar en Hravan - about the Grimoire***

Means as much as "stone of the wild animal" in Elbian and probably refers to the tiger-eye cabochon surrounded by the different and almost clear rock crystal shards.
Found in one of the abandoned Elbe towers, the Grimoire retained its old splendour, even if you can see the age on the sides. It was hidden in a dusty chest, wrapped in fine linen between herbs and enigmatic tinctures and ointment crucibles. Perhaps a healer used it to record his recipes with drawings and sketches of the various plants. Perhaps it belonged to a traveller who wrote down his adventures. Or maybe a member of the royal family used it as a diary. But I can't tell you this, because with magic the words were deleted and so only the empty book with its unwritten pages remained, which has so much to tell... what are you going to fill it with?
